Today is a very special episode, and that's because we are traveling back in time.

We're going to the golden age of air travel here at Air Hollywood.

It's a movie set that's been recreated to be an exact replica of a 1973 Pan Am flight.

So if you guys know us, you know that our mother used to fly for Pan Am.

So basically, we're going to treat her, taking her back in time with us, bringing our dad as well, and

seeing if this little slice of deja vu is what it was really like to fly in 1973.

All right, so this is our mom, Jill and Roberto.

I met her on a train in Switzerland on September 12, 1980.

I'd bought a one way ticket from New Zealand and I was traveling around the world and I met as I was changing trains, I saw these three women getting on a train and one of them was your mom and the other two were her siblings.

So we were traveling together for a month.

Pan Am, when you weren't married, they gave you $25 tickets to go around the world with your siblings.

So we were the four of us traveling together when we ran into this guy who followed us onto the train in Switzerland.

As you might tell, it's like something out of a Bollywood movie.

So any of our globetrotting skills, they come from these two people.

Are you guys ready to travel back to the year 1973 and board a Pan Am flight?

All right, so first things first, we gotta check in, and

then we got 30 minutes here in the lounge before the flight departs.

How those days they went fast and free not a worry just to you and me.

Down the street line in the foreign rain on that corner.

You grew younger as we grew old the world got strangers.

When you were smoking, the plane and it was divided in half.

And when I had to work on the plane, the junior people always had to Work in the smoking section, because you would get off the plane and you'd be coughing.

I remember doing a transatlantic and we were one row behind the smoking road.

We should just give a massive thank you to our parents for the opportunity to travel when we were young.

thank you, Delta Airlines, for all those buddy passes and all those standby takes and for giving us, you know, a sense of the world at a young age.

The flight crew and the pilots have just arrived.

That usually means the plane's gonna take off pretty soon.

This is like, something that's really cool for us.

it's really crazy for us because we've grown up hearing about the glory days in Pan Am with our mom telling stories, but

It's only been over 25 years since I stepped on the Pan Am Clipper.

So what made you want to be a flight attendant?

I wanted to be a flight attendant because I loved studying foreign languages.

I studied them in high school and college, and

I had never left the US And I wanted to be able to see the world, so thought the only way to do that is become a Pan Am stewardess.

because I spoke Italian at the time, went to New York, flew to Rome, flew to Venice, flew everywhere.

At this time, we'd like to invite our first class and Clipper class passengers to board.

We also invite any Pan Am FT members to board at your le camp.

So you guys will be sitting in the Clipper class this evening, which is right back behind us.

But until we take off, you're welcome to check up, check out the upper deck or the main cabin.

Great to see your mother in an element that she used to enjoy.

And they've given it the name of one trip, which is the founder of Pan Am.

And that was the first 747off the assembly line at Boeing, which is, I think, pretty co.

This is a picture of my training class, and we were all trained in New York, and

then the whole class was shipped to London.

As for our first base, Pan Am gave Us, three nights in a hotel, and

then we had to find our own place to live.

I lived with one gal next to the airport, and I didn't like it.
